The star in the East is Sirius, the brightest star in the nights sky. Which on Dec. 24th aligns with the 3 brightest stars in Orion's Belt. These three bright stars are called today what they were called in ancient times "The Three Kings". The Three Kings and the brightest star Sirius, all point to the place of the Sunrise on December 25th. This is why the 3 kings "follow" the star in the east. In order to locate the Sunrise, the birth of the Sun. The Virgin Mary is the constellation Virgo also known as Virgo the Virgin. Virgo in Latin MEANS Virgin. Virgo is also referred to as the House of Bread. And the representation of Virgo is a virgin holding a sheaf of wheat. This house of bread and symbol of wheat represents August and September, the time of harvest. In turn Bethlehem in fact literally translates to House of Bread. Bethlehem is thus a reference to the constellation Virgo, a place in the sky, not on earth. From the Summer Solstice to the Winter Solstice the days become shorter and colder. From the perspective of the Northern Hemisphere the Sun appears to move South and get smaller and more scarce. The shortening of the days and the expiration of the crops, when approaching the Winter Solstice symbolizes the process of DEATH to the Ancients. It was the death of the Sun. And by December 22nd the Sun's demise was fully realized. For the Sun, moving South continually for 6 months makes it to its lowest point in the sky. Here a curious thing occurs. The Sun stops moving South, at least perceivably, for 3 days. During this 3 day pause, the sun resides in the vicinity of the Southern Cross or "Croux" constellation. And after this time, on December 25th the Sun moves 1 degree, this time north. Foreshadowing longer days, warmth and Spring. And thus it was said, the Sun, died on a cross. Was dead for 3 days, only to be resurrected or born again. This is why Jesus, and numerous other Sun gods share the crucifixion, 3 day death and resurrection concept. It is the Sun's transition period before it shifts its direction back into the Northern Hemisphere, bringing Spring and thus salvation. However, we do not celebrate the resurrection of the Sun until the Spring Equinox or "Easter" This is because at the Spring Equinox, the Sun officially over powers the evil darkness, as daytime thereafter becomes longer in duration then the night and the revitalizing conditions of Spring emerge.
